I saw him once walking across the BB bridge in NYC, such a beautiful spirit and smile greeting me "my sistah" ! A voice like no other that could take you to peace. Forever remembered, forever missed, and gone too soon.
This is a example that you should also have the ability to say no had he control himself and not allow himself to got used he could even overcome the temptation of using cocaine if you are too sweet the world suck you dry too bitter it spue you out so be wise
😢I had the privilege to see this great man walk by my house on a regular basis back in the day in Duhaney Park Kingston Jamaica, back then as a toddler I didn’t know who he really was and how much of a giant in music he was. Rest in eternal paradise Crown Prince Of Reggae🙏🏽🇯🇲
Without a doubt the finest vocalist in the history of Reggae music. Exceedingly creative melodically with a touching, beautiful and honest voice that came through in pretty much all of his songs. RIP to this great legend!
I loved Dennis Brown I was fortunate to meet him and be amongst a few people allowed in his dressing room pre concert and have to say his humbleness and kindness left a lasting impression on me I will never forgotten ❤️ R.I.P legend!!!
Thank you for this.I were lucky to go backstage to meet Dennis Brown after a concert in Germany.We smoked the herb and he sang ´No man is an island´ right there.I will never ever forget that moment of my all time favourite singer.
He was my 1st Jamaican and reggae singer I saw in concert in Britain/ London. . Even before bob marley , big youth and others. Shame he died. The music industry has many pitfalls. Not only to children, but adults as well. Gone mad, overdose, ripped off, overspending, bad management. Taken advantage off. Overworked. The list goes on. Good biography. 👍🎅
I met Dennis Brown right on Orange Street 17 year's Of Age At The Record He Big heel Booth Afro He Was 4Year Older Go to His Show In Harbor View also Sometimes he Gave Us Tickets He Was A Kind Person We Were Friends Missing Him I Was In NY 🇺🇸🇺🇸 When He Pass Away His Music 🎵🎶🎤 Lives On Forever Keep Singing Rest In Zion Peace ❤️💛💚🇯🇲🕊️🕊️🕊️
Fans of Bob Marley look surprised when I say that Dennis Brown was more infuential as a vocalist in reggae---and Marley himself had named DB as his own favorite singer. I had the fortune to meet and speak with this man several times during his two visits to St. Louis. Dennis carried the sun in his smile and face---it is true, he made you feel you had made a friend, within minutes of meeting. I believe he had before the age of 18 a lung removed, and if that is true even more amazing his vocal powers in life. IMO it is not accurate to say 'the music business killed Dennis Brown". A life of cocaine use and compromised livity did that. My final time speaking to Mr. Brown had me ask him "After all you have done, all the tours and music you've recorded, could you retire tomorrow if you wished??' His face looked very thoughtful, his face considering the question, and said 'That is a serious thing...and...I would have to say no." Dennis passed less than 2 years later, and who ever gave more to Jamaican music than Dennis Emmanuel Brown?? Give Thanks💜
I am sorry that I have never heard or seen him performed live,we bought tickets for his concert in Trinidad and Tobago and he was pronounced dead the night of concert, a lot of people came that to see him performed. SIP Dennis Brown.
I was once in a studio in NYC in the early ‘90’s with a friend who was recording an album and Dennis Brown happened to be there recording at the same time. I was talking to the owner (David of D &D Studios in the Village) who told me that he only hangs around when Dennis is recording. Dennis was so humble and smiling. Album turned to to be a hit. Saw him again at the Empire Roller Rink in Brooklyn and I asked about the album and he said it was doing great. It is the album that contains the song “Inseparable”.
Awesome story. And also thank you for connecting the dots for me. I have nuff cassettes. And one sound in particular that I have in my collection is Down Beat The Ruler. In one of his Brigadier Jerry specials in the intro Briggy mentions “Original D&D” I’ve always wondered who or what he was referring to. That’s why I always go to the comments section because someone out there will always drop some good nuggets. Thank you once again
Dennis and his music will forever live on as it does day after day and year after year. Not here in person but his soul and spirit can be heard every time you play his songs. What a lovely example of a human being. That promoter that introduced cocaine to him and forced it on him has a lot to answer for. Salute to the Crown Prince of Reggae!!!!
I was honoured to see him live in concert...a special man...a musical genius...his voice so soothing to your soul...R.I.P the Crown Prince too good for this cruel word...the Most High called him home❤️💛💚🖤🙏🏼
Thank you for this. Dennis Brown was my absolute favorite artist. I saw in concert numerous times in the UK. Dennis Emanuel Brown, may he rest in eternal peace.he 🙏
Whenever i am feeling down i play me a Dennis Brown and one song leads to onother till my spirit is lifted. Very gifted brother . RIP BRO YOU MADE US PROUD.
Dennis Brown is the Crown Prince of Regge. I love so many other Reggae artists for their unique talents and contributions: Alton Ellis, Delroy Wilson, Gregory Isaacs, and Beres Hammond among them. Reggae music is sweet - but the voice has to be mellow and strong!
Denis Brown - he was a very nice person. I met him at Studio One when I was working there. He called ne Christine. Because of my religion. May your soul rest in peace. Sleep on and take your rest my dear.
I thank you so much for this dedication... My best friend who has transcended, Dennis Brown was her favourite singer ever, and i definitely would agree...his music is indeed timeless... he was that "Someone Special"...
Thank you so much to the reggae appreciation society for collating and publishing this history. It is a steller piece of Jounalism. Please talk to Brother Culture AKA Simon Fajemisin. My Nigerian brother who was on the journey with us from the 80s till today. We have many stories to tell about the industry and some of its most prominent artists London, New York, Jamaica.
Thanks so much for the compliments sir. Much appreciated. I also appreciate the pointer to Brother Culture, I will contact him. Thanks for watching ✌️ Jah bless
Amazing, awesome talent...gone too soon. But carry on young soldiers. Stay on the battlefield. We'll see each other on the other side...🌹 One Love ❤🙂🏝🔥♥️
I love Dennis Brown’s music. As great as Bob Marley and his music was , my spirit just enjoyed Denis music better. I spent my Saturdays just playing and listening to his music. He was loved, cherished and ultimately revered by his fans. We all love and miss you Warrior. Rest In Peace & Rise in Power. Watch over the youths who are coming forward in the music industry so they too don’t succumb to the same faith. You will be forever missed Dennis Brown. 🙏🏽❤️💛💚
i meet mr d brown in the late 1980s in London he come out of the blue to check my big sister, he was way shorter than i thought but his singing made him bigger than 3 mountains, at the time i was around a studio , but it was like my school and i didnt have any tunes it was all about watching production. R.I.P
Reggae musik (King's Musik) reaches the inner core of your very being, as in your SOUL. Not every performer can single handedly reach your soul, Mr Brown dose. ❤💛💚🙋🏽♀
Fantastic singer. I can't recall the countless number of biographies I've read on Dennis Brown over the ages. Sadly another Great and friend, Gregory "the Cool Ruler" Isaacs aka Jah Tooth succumbed to the same trappings of fame and addiction.
Dennis Brown had a smooth silky voice his contribution comparable and second to none after singing one his songs left you comforted happy and joyous you only left doing the right thing not knowing after where it takes you to highlight the truth
I’m so sorry sadden for D.Brown. I still play his music in my car. My husband is jealous of my love for his music 🎶 . 😂😂❤❤💯 love and hate can’t never be friends
A blessing to humanity but a sad ending. His righteous message will go on forever just like Bob and others who have gone on. It’s seems like the ones who carry this humble, kind spirit never stays to long. Maybe it’s how cruel and wicked this world is. Jah rest his soul.
@François Carlier not always. Death is the end for all of us, but many have been blessed to live a full and joyful life with minimal sadness. When it's your time it's your time but the ending doesn't have to be sad.
I remember that night you perform with the company I know you before you grew your hair you are a magnificent human I always remember how you and I were having fun making mischiefs with everyone we perform for Prime Minister Michael Mandley
He never recorded a bad song. I will admit that I only own 125 Dennis Brown releases (this includes some singles), but I think it's a safe bet that anything I don't own is great.
Dennis Brown songs were more powerful and so honest, Slave driver, Equal Rights were just a few from many that come before Bob promoted by the establishment, Dennis is a true Prince of Reggae Music for all the People.
Dennis Emmanuel Brown, his legacy lives on as he continues to influence and inspire upcoming musicians and new generations. Like Beetoven his work is CLASSIC YOU COULD HEAR AND FEEL THE HEART OF DENNIS IN ALL OF HIS SONGS HE SANG OF PEACE AND TRUELOVE. RIP KING OF REGGAE you paved the way for many artists your influence can be heard today🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
The truth of the matter is Dennis Brown is what most young and old reggae singers strive to become. His playlist is unequaled. His voice was raspy but yet so mellow. I salute to the crown prince of reggae music. Jah bless R.I. P
@jracerichards I am not talking about what he did behind the scenes. Just on a musical platform, his levels are beyond most any other reggae artists, and this is facts..
Yet there are many just as talented who did not fall victim to indiscipline. How did all this great music help him when he's dead because of drugs? What you do privately affects your life and how you produce. Imagine what he could have continued creating if he exercised some restraint
It is amazing that substance abuse is mentioned to the near end of the commentary. It was and still is a great problem with many in the industry. For the most part the majority of performers feel that they can never deliver without becoming a party to this practice. Sadly as seen, it brings life to a quick end causing much distress to family and fans alike.
I've been a pro musician for 45 years and never touched any drug. This man's lack of discipline is disappointing ,who also speaks about being Rastafarian . He's not
@@jracerichards I'm sorry, what ? Are you trying to say D. Brown wasn't rasta ? Come on now, man. Addiction can take anyone out - the faithful, the faithless, pastors, rastas.. anyone.
@@jracerichards wow. Judge not. Addiction isn't about weakness. How dare you judge without walking in a man's shoes? You know people said Bob Marley also did coke not just weed? Before you condemn people, try and understand them and why it happened. It doesn't make them bad people
Ooh no and very interesting Rest in peace to the legend and I see why this is titled this way because it's the absolute truth. They love to drain and taint so many of those we hold dear
Dennis Emmanuel Brown will always be the King of Reggae to millions worldwide. The undisputed heavyweight champion though given the title Crown Prince. He is & always be the King yug dun noh...
Dennis Emmanuel Brown was one of my favorite reggae singers and there is distinct group here. Bob Marley Peter Tosh Gregory Isaacs Beres Hammond Freddie McGregor Judy Mowatt Jah Nine Sara Lugo
Dennis "Inseparable " Brown gone too soon and is early introduction into the music was not to his advantage. Dennis is one of a few artistes you would ask God to return 🙏 to us. RIP Crown Prince of Reggae, Sadly missed 😢
I commend the person who did the narrative for this video on Dennis Brown. It was a thoughtful, honest, and impartial account of the singer, man, and kind soul that Dennis was. Yes, Dennis had his struggles, but he had a steep hill to climb as a young performer who had little guidance and only wanted to please his fans. D.B.'s spirit will live on because he has an unmatchable gift, his voice. R in eternal P Dennis, you're forever loved!
Reggae artist talk about reality and all the inequalities and divisions in the world this is why music is a way of life and Dennis brown was a good artist who was true to his word .
Music was spot on. I could hear that narrator. Great video!! What about King Yellowman. Would love to see a video on Winston Foster. The King of Dance Hall music
Yeah mon. Thanks for the tip about the sound in the previous video. Big up ✌️ Here's the one about King Yellowman we did a while back. Enjoy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Zlpj-deQOU.html
On point mi bredren ✌️ "I remember when death stole away, my brother Dennis Brown and cried, But we will carry on" - Lyrics from 'Where the tree falls' by Culture
